Choice, Not Destiny: Beyond the Motherhood Mandate | A Round Table Conversation

Some women consciously choose to remain child-free. Some deeply want to become mothers. Some are at a crossroads, standing between what is conventional and what they truly want.

This Koffee & Kalavaram roundtable looks at motherhood as a choice, not a default, through conversations on child-free lives, care work, bodily autonomy, relationships, social expectations, and the invisible labour of mothering.

Event by: Koffee & Kalavaram x Backyard

Because the decision to have children, or not to, is deeply personal.

And the personal is political.

Come with your experiences, questions, contradictions and convictions. You do not need to be a mother, want to be one, or have everything figured out to belong in this conversation.
